    When chiropractic works, it is BECAUSE they are doing physical therapy, not chiropractic. Many allied health professionals do versions of physical therapy such as massage therapists, osteopaths, sports medicine doctors, sports trainers and physiotherapists. Their costs are often much lower than chiropractors as well.

    When chiropractors actually do chiropractic…they make magical claims of "aligning the spine" to "reduce subluxation" and "unblock the innate energy"….but their results are no better than placebo.

    Chiropractic is mostly bunk…but some of them have learned a little physical therapy along the way.
